Gen. Washington > Medal of Honor

“The road to glory in a patriot army and a free country is open to all”, declared General Washington in his order of the day August 7, 1782, instituting the first American badge for military merit.

His act was in recognition of “bravery, fidelity and good conduct” among the non-commis-sioned officers and private soldiers in the Continental Army. Thus was established the Order iof the Purple Heart. Individual valor has always been a distinguishing trait of the ’American soldier. Iri the lapse iof more than a century and a half between Bunker Hill, Valley Forge and Stony Point to ’ Pearl Harbor, Batan and the Macassar Straits the roster of those men who have traveled the road to glory furnishes a brilliant record ot patriotism and sacrifice.

In the first dark hours of the present war their heroic deeds have thrilled their countrymen and illumined the way to ultimate victory—inspiring hope of a triumph not only for the United Nations but for downtrodden peoples throughout the world. No gold, silver or bronze blazoned from the breasts of the heroes Washington intended to honor. Read his general order: “The General ever desirous to cherish virtuous ambition in his soldiers, as well as to foster and enequrage every species of military merit, directs that when any singularly meritorious action is performed, the author of it shall be permitted to wear on his facings over the left breast the figure of a heart in purple cloth, or silk, edged with narrow lace or binding. Not only instances of unusual gallantry, but also of extraordinary fidelity and essential service in any way shall meet with due reward. . . . The road to

Find Gold Deposit An eight-foot ledge sampling S3O per ton, overlooked by French capitalists who worked the mine 30 years ago, has been found in the Davidson property two miles northwest of El Dorado, Calif. The vein missed by the French interests about 1911, when they sank a 300-foot shaft, drifted north and south on a productive ledge in the lower levels and extracted gold worth $350,000. They were forced to retire from the mine by the out break of the World war in 1814. Considerable ore is said to remain in the old,workings as former operators mined only the richer auartz with gold worth $30.67 an ounce. j

FROM CONGRESSMAN ROBERT A. ©RANT

Senator Willis and the Hoosier delegation in Congress assembled in the capitol for luncheon on Monday of this week with Gov. Henry Schricker. Many items of interest touching upon the welfare of all Hoosiers were discussed. One topic of conversation was the pending proposal to supplement unemployment compensation payments for those thrown out of work in industries which must shut down to change machinery to make implements of war. Many of us feel „that the pending bill would effectively nullify our State Departments of Public Welfare. Adequate unemployment payments are not the issue. Our Hoosier delegation reaffirmed the position taken many weeks ago—that we oppose any measure which would federalize ibur Social Security System. We have already gone too far down that road which leads from States Rights and local self-gov-ernment toward a strong Federal Government, which does not recognize those “inalienable rights” of the people. Another subject discussed, and one which is pressing for solution, is the problem of manpower on the farms. Our farmers are being called upon to produce more food while their manpower is being lost to the armed forces and the higher pay to be found in industrial centers. This is a very real problem and one that must be solved soon. It cannot be met by blinding ourselves to this fact.

Our Secretary of State, James M. Tucker, was also a Washington visitor this week. New appropriation measures passed by Congress since the 1942 Session began on January 5 now total about 70 billions. This is a tremendous sum of public I funds to be budgeted in a period of six weeks. These funds, alone, aggregate far more than the total military and naval expenditures of the United States during the entire period of the First World War 25 years ago. Another way to look at it is to measure the total of these 1942 items against existing property values. For example; the total value of all farms in the United Statse (about 6 million of them) was only 46 billions in 1929. This includes the value of all farm lands, all buildings, equipment, and all livestock. Thus, the President’s budget items since the first of the year, if managed on a cash basis, would 'consume all the farm property in the United States, plus all the factory buildings and olfice buildings in the United States, with all their equipment and machinery. All these commercial and industrial plants combined were valued, in 1929, at approximately 25 billions, according to a study made by the! Bureau of Economic Research of the University of Notre Dame. But this year’s spending items are not the whole story. Before the present session of Congress began work on the war program, appropriations and authorizations since the launching of the defense program, in June 1940, had reached the staggering total of another 70 billions. So the President’s defense programs to date have called for more than 140 billions.

However, up to February 15 of this year, according to the most recent report from the Office for Emergency Management, actual defense expenditures since June 1940 amounted to only 1914 billions, or less than 14% of the funds appropriated. Thus, there is yet available to the President a total of more than 120 billions remaining to be spent, or “on order.’ ’ During the month of January, 194;2, defense expenditures were 2 billions; and the average! monthly total of war spending I for the whole calendar year 1942; is expected to reach about * three billions. At that rate of spending, therefore, it will take about 40 months (3 years and 4 months) to disburse the total defense funds which will be available to the President ht the end of February* ten days hence. You can’t win a war merely by appropriating billions of dollars. The Japs won’t be licked by threatening them with planes or tanks “on order.”*? These billions be translated into arms.' The job must be done quickly and efficiently and the taxpayer has a fight to insist that a dollar’s worth of planes or tanks be delivered for each dollar spent. Determined Plumber Three times Joe Morris of Montgomery, Ala., tried to get a license from the city plumbers’ examining board. Three times the board refused him. The city commission refused to overrule the board. So Joe gathered up a delegation of 20 persons for whom he had done plumbing. They told die commission Joe did good work. The commission .votad to abolish the examining

On Tuesday Alfred Stump received a notice from the State President that the blanks were excellent and the idea had been sehtj to national JCC headquarters and would probably be adopted 6ft a national bests.
